What a colourful little poppet is Ruby! So lovely to see such a littley dressed in bright, cheerful colours. I tried this with my granddaughter, only to find that her mother preferred pastels and 'labels' and my offerings were shoved in the bottom of a cupboard. The start of a downhill slide in the relationship. I could just never get it RIGHT, you know? So I gave up trying.

You always show me such lovely things. I love everything (as usual) in this post! I'd love a market stall. Ive decided you can have George - I will make do with the much younger and hunky Monty Halls. xxx

You have been so busy!!! I really like your garden gate, and how lucky to see a pheasant! So you have heart fatigue?! The linen and lace ones are my favourite. Little Ruby is so cute in her stripy outfit.x

What a lovely post filled with interesting things, like the tin that looks like a book which I really liked! Ruby looks adorable in her cute outfit. Hope the weather settles down for you at the weekend. Helen x

Oh, the plate sure is pretty (and it is blue and white!) And a pheasant! We do rarely see them here, and never in the winter. How I long for spring and summer... for the birdsong and the rare sighting of pheasants.

Thank you for your visits and lovely comments in my blog. They are so so appreciated!
